Mogadishu - Saba:
Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mahmoud expressed his strong opposition to any attempt by the United States to recognize the administration of the separatist Somaliland.
In an interview with the Washington Post, the Somali president warned that some people close to US President Donald Trump are seeking to push him to officially recognize Somaliland..
stressing that this could pose a threat to changing the borders of the African continent, according to what was reported by the New Somalia news website last night.
American media outlets have reported in recent months that the Trump administration is considering the possibility of recognizing Somaliland, with movements within Congress supporting this recognition.
It is worth noting that Somaliland declared its secession from the rest of the Somali territories in 1991, but has not yet received recognition from the international community, which treats it as part of Somalia.
